Southwest Airlines booking, change, and cancellation help

Changing plans, cancelling, using a travel credit, or planning a multi-city or award trip on Southwest Airlines? Call and talk it through with a travel agent.

AirFlightSearch is an independent travel agency, not Southwest Airlines. We change and cancel tickets we issued. If you bought from Southwest Airlines or another site, we can walk you through your options and book a new flight, but that ticket stays with its seller.

FAQ

Southwest Airlines change and cancellation questions

How can I change a Southwest Airlines flight?

Southwest Airlines has long been known for not charging a separate change fee on its published fares, so date and time changes are typically limited to any fare difference. Same-day standby or same-day change availability can still depend on fare type and route.

Can I cancel a Southwest Airlines flight and get a refund?

Most Southwest fares can be cancelled for future flight credit, and some fare types may qualify for a refund to the original payment method. Rules can vary by fare (Wanna Get Away, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, Business Select) and by how the ticket was purchased.

What if I booked somewhere else?

AirFlightSearch can help explain general options and route your support request. Some actions may still need to be completed with the original booking source or airline.

Is AirFlightSearch Southwest Airlines?

No. AirFlightSearch is independent and is not affiliated with Southwest Airlines or operated as an official airline website.
